SECTION 1. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
1.1 Standard Federal hereby extends to the Borrower a revolving
line of credit (the "Revolving Line of Credit") which shall not exceed at any
one time outstanding the Revolving Credit Limit as hereafter defined. The term
"Revolving Credit Limit" shall mean the lesser of: (a) Ten Million and 00/100
Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or (b) an amount equal to the sum of: (i) an amount
equal to 80% of Eligible Accounts Receivable, plus (ii) an amount equal to the
lesser of: (1) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), or (2) an
amount equal to 50% of Qualified Inventory. As used herein, the term "Eligible
Accounts Receivable" shall mean accounts receivable of the Borrower less than
90 days old, not doubtful as to collectibility or disputed as to existence or
amount or subject to offset, contra-indebtedness or return and not intra-
company or owing from any affiliated or related company or other entity,
exclusive of any account receivable arising under a government contract, the
assignment of which is subject to the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as
amended, or any other similar federal or state statute or regulation governing
the assignment of contracts with a governmental agency. The term "Qualified
Inventory" shall mean the inventory of Borrower in which Standard Federal holds
a perfected first security interest exclusive of any returned or damaged items
and work-in-process.
1.2 The Revolving Line of Credit herein extended shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of a Third Amended and Restated Promissory Note
(Line of Credit), dated June 22, 1995, and all renewals and amendments thereof
(the "Revolving Line of Credit Note"). The Revolving Line of Credit shall be
payable and shall bear interest as set forth in the Revolving Line of Credit
Note. This Loan Agreement and the Revolving Line of Credit Note are of equal
materiality and shall each be construed in such manner as to give full force
and effect to all provisions of both documents.
1.3 Standard Federal shall, from time to time during the term
hereof, make advances to Borrower under the Revolving Line of Credit upon
request therefor by Borrower, provided that upon giving effect to such advance
no Event of Default (as defined in the
2
3
Revolving Line of Credit Note or this Agreement) and no event which with notice
and/or the passage of time would become an Event of Default shall exist at the
time the advance is to be made; and provided further that upon giving effect to
such advance and at the time the advance is to be made all of the
representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement and all
other documents executed in connection with the Revolving Line of Credit are
true and correct in all material respects; and provided further that at the
time the advance is to be made Standard Federal shall not have previously or
concurrently declared all amounts owing under the Revolving Line of Credit Note
to be immediately due and payable; and provided further the amount requested
shall not cause the total amount outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit
to exceed the Revolving Credit Limit.
1.4 If at any time the amount outstanding under the Revolving Line
of Credit shall exceed the Revolving Credit Limit, Borrower shall, on demand,
forthwith pay to Standard Federal such sums as are necessary to reduce the
amount outstanding to an amount not greater than the Revolving Credit Limit.
1.5 Borrower shall pay to Standard Federal, on the first day of
each month, commencing on October 1, 1995 and continuing on the same day of
each consecutive month thereafter until the termination of the Revolving Line
of Credit and all sums owing for principal and interest with respect to the
Revolving Line of Credit are paid in full, an Unused Line Fee in the amount of
0.25% per annum of the amount available for draw but not advanced from time to
time on the Revolving Line of Credit ("Unused Line"). The amount of the Unused
Line Fee payable on the first day of each month will be determined by
multiplying the average daily balance of the Unused Line for the calendar month
which ends one month prior to the due date of such Unused Line Fee by .020833%.
1.6 In all events, unless earlier terminated, the Revolving Line
of Credit shall terminate March 31, 1997 . Upon termination, Borrower
shall forthwith pay to Standard Federal all sums owing for principal and
interest with respect to the Revolving Line of Credit.
SECTION 1A. DEMONSTRATOR LINE OF CREDIT

Credit and the Revolving Line of Credit are hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "Line of Credit") which shall not exceed at any one time outstanding
the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($1,500,000.00) (the "Demonstrator Credit Limit").

4
Credit) of even date herewith, and all renewals and amendments thereof (the

the Revolving Line of Credit Note are hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Line of Credit Note"). The Demonstrator Line of Credit shall be payable
and shall bear interest as set forth in the Demonstrator Line of Credit Note.
This Loan Agreement and the Demonstrator Line of Credit Note are of equal
materiality and shall each be construed in such manner as to give full force
and effect to all provisions of both documents.
1A.3 Standard Federal shall, from time to time during the term
hereof, make advances to Borrower under the Demonstrator Line of Credit upon
request therefor by Borrower, provided that upon giving effect to such advance
no Event of Default (as defined in the Demonstrator Line of Credit Note or this
Agreement) and no event which with notice and/or the passage of time would
become an Event of Default shall exist at the time the advance is to be made;
and provided further that upon giving effect to such advance and at the time
the advance is to be made all of the representations and warranties of Borrower
contained in this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with
the Demonstrator Line of Credit are true and correct in all material respects;
and provided further that at the time the advance is to be made Standard
Federal shall not have previously or concurrently declared all amounts owing
under the Demonstrator Line of Credit Note to be immediately due and payable;

outstanding under the Demonstrator Line of Credit to exceed the Demonstrator
Credit Limit.

used solely for the purchase of inventory of the Borrower for demonstrator
purposes, as determined in a manner acceptable to Standard Federal. Each
advance shall be in an amount not in excess of Eighty Five percent 85.0% of the
inventory at cost of the Borrower's demonstrator inventory as reflected in the
demonstrator inventory reports properly furnished by the Borrower as required
under Section 3.2(e) hereof.
1A.5 If at any time the amount outstanding under the Demonstrator
Line of Credit shall exceed the Demonstrator Credit Limit, Borrower shall, on
demand, forthwith pay to Standard Federal such sums as are necessary to reduce
the amount outstanding to an amount not greater than the Demonstrator Credit
Limit.
1A.6 In all events, unless earlier terminated, the Demonstrator
Line of Credit shall terminate March 31, 1997. Upon termination, Borrower
shall forthwith pay to Standard Federal all sums owing for principal and
interest with respect to the Demonstrator Line of Credit.

2.12 Except as disclosed in the environmental reports listed in
attached Schedule 2.12, copies of which the Borrower has furnished to Standard
Federal, neither the Borrower nor, to the best of Borrower's knowledge after

oil, pesticides, or any substance or material of any kind which is currently
known or suspected to be toxic or hazardous, including but not limited to any
substance defined as a "Hazardous Waste" in Title 40, Part 261 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, (hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Material") to be
discharged, dispersed, released, disposed of, or allowed to escape on, under or
at any property owned, occupied or operated by any Borrower in violation of any
Hazardous Materials Laws (as hereinafter defined), nor has any property owned,
occupied or operated by any Borrower, or any part thereof, ever been used by
the Borrower or, to the best of Bor-
10
11
rower's knowledge after due inquiry, any prior owner or any other person, as a
dump, storage or disposal site for any Hazardous Material, nor has there
occurred any other violation of the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et
seq., or any other federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule,
regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to or imposing liability or
standards of conduct concerning, any Hazardous Material ("Hazardous Materials
Laws") with respect to any property owned, occupied or operated by any
Borrower. No asbestos or asbestos-containing materials have been installed,
used, incorporated into, or disposed of on any property owned, occupied or

any property owned, occupied or operated by any Borrower have been installed
and are being operated in full compliance with all applicable Hazardous
Materials Laws. The Borrower: (a) has not received any notice of any release,
threatened release, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge or emission
of any Hazardous Materials in, under or upon any property owned, occupied or
operated by any Borrower or of any violation of any Hazardous Materials Law,
and (2) does not know of any basis for any such notice or violation.
2.13 No "reportable event," as defined in the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 and any amendments thereto ("ERISA"), has occurred
and is continuing with respect to any employee pension and/or profit sharing
benefit plan maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower for the benefit of any
of its employees. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") has not
instituted proceedings to terminate any such employee pension and/or profit
sharing plan or to appoint a trustee to administer such plan. The Borrower
has maintained and funded and caused each of its subsidiaries, if any, to
maintain and fund all employee pension and/or profit sharing plans in
accordance with their terms and with all applicable provisions of ERISA.
Neither the Borrower nor any duly appointed administrator of any employee
pension and/or profit sharing plan: (a) has incurred any liability to PBGC with
respect to any such plan other than for premiums not yet due or payable, (b)
has instituted or intends to institute proceedings to terminate any such plan
under Section 4042 or 4041A of Erisa, or (c) has withdrawn from any
Multi-Employer Pension Plan (as that term is defined in Section 3(37) of
ERISA).
2.14 There is no material fact that the Borrower has not disclosed
to Standard Federal which could have a material adverse effect on the
properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 2.14, a
"material adverse effect" means any circumstance or event which (a) could
11
12
have any adverse effect whatsoever upon the validity, performance or
enforceability of any material provision of the Loan Documents, (b) is or might
be material and adverse to the financial condition or business operations of
the Borrower or any subsidiary, (c) could impair the ability of the Borrower to
fulfill its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (d) causes an Event of
Default or any event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, could become
an Event of Default. Neither the financial statements referred to in Section
2.5 hereof, nor any certificate or statement delivered herewith or heretofore
by Borrower in connection with the negotiations of this Loan Agreement,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to keep the statements contained herein or therein, under the
circumstances in which they were made, from being misleading.
2.15 Each request for an advance under the Line of Credit shall
constitute, without the necessity of specifically containing a written
statement, a representation and warranty by Borrower that no Event of Default
exists and that all representations and warranties contained in this Section 2
or in any mortgage, guaranty, security agreement or other document given to
secure or relating to the Line of Credit Note or this Agreement are true and
correct at and as of the time the advance is to be made.
